Thanks, both of you.

Yes, Cantus. I am a realist
and where there is mystery,
there is the potential for
surprise.

Someone told me thoughts
were deeds.

So be it.

Thanks, again.

All the best Pete! I wish I lived a little bit closer to be helpful. SIN and I are sending you warm wishes, and to your family as well. You brought tears to my eyes when I read about your children holding you.

You are so loved! I am so glad to hear the doctor has exceeded your expectations and is taking care of you. I hope the worst of it is over!

I am inching along. Wound still open in
two spots. Still trying to close. I feel a
bit stronger. I can almost sit on the bed
but admit leaning left. I am standing longer
and trying to get through a day's work. I
have to take breaks frequently, though.
Bleeding but brighter color. I am keeping
up, with it. Finally able to sleep on side,
which is great for me. It has been so long.

Our Christmas Holidays in NYC have to be
cancelled, unfortunately. I'm really sad
about that but it is what it is.

I will try and keep the updates on.

Thanks, again, so much.

NYC will be here when you get well enough and all this is behind you. Take care of yourself.

Or you more of a Guinness or Stella guy?

Well, just back from hospital.
Surgeon says I look great and
is very pleased. Very little fluid
and hardly any blood. He likes
the surrounding tissues. Week
4 of a planned 6-week, first of
a two-staged recovery.

I am stronger, though sore
pushing myself to avoid atrophy.
I am more flexible and better
able to sleep and dream.

I'm so glad to hear you're getting better and better, Pete. Have a wonderful thanksgiving with your wonderful family.
And one day i really wanna hug that guy personally who would have every right to be a bit grumpy because of pain and "i want, but not yet can", but even now is a wonderful person to talk and chat with and shows that every moment of caring is absolutely deserved
